Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a new long-term deal with the club that will keep him at the Etihad until 2034.
The Norwegian joined City from Dortmund in 2022 and has scored 111 goals in 126 games for the club since. The striker's previous deal, which reportedly included a release clause, had been due to expire in 2027.
Haaland's new deal would see the striker remain with City until his 34th birthday should he stay at the club until its expiry in nine-and-a-half years' time. The length of Haaland's deal is the longest in the Premier League, eclipsing the nine-year deal Cole Palmer signed with Chelsea last August.
"I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club," said Haaland.
His first season for City in 2022-23 was his most prolific, with 52 goals in all competitions scored at a rate of a goal every 79 minutes. His shot conversion rate was 28.7%. Last season, he scored 38 goals across all competitions at a rate of a goal every 98 minutes, and that has slipped this season to a goal every 118 minutes – with 22 so far.
Haaland has the best overall minutes-to-goal ratio of any Premier League player to play more than 5,000 minutes (91 mins per goal). His closest rival is former City striker Sergio Aguero (108).
He is already third in Man City's Premier League top-scorers list on 79. Aguero (184) and Raheem Sterling (91) are ahead of him.
Haaland is 61st on the all-time list of Premier League scorers
Haaland's contract renewal comes two months after Pep Guardiola's decision to sign a new two-year deal of his own.
Since moving to the club from Germany, the Norway forward has won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Super Cup.
Haaland, the son of former City midfielder Alf-Inge, has netted 21 times in 28 appearances for City this season.
The defending champions are 12 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League table, having played an extra game than the Reds.
